WAR IN MEXICO HAS BEGUN
City of Vera Cruz is Occupied By Americans
FOUR AMERICANS KILLED
Sharp Fighting in the Streets
Bciw!
,een the American
v Marines aiid Mexicans
The city of Vera Cruz was taken by
forces from the American warships
on Tue.-iiay afternoon, but the occu
pation of the port was not accom
plished without lois of lixes, both
Ainoivan and Mexican.
Four Americans, bluejackets and
marines, were killed by the tire cf
the Mexican soldiers and 20 fell
wounded. The Mexican loss is not
known, but it is believed to have been
heavy.
The water front, the customs house ;
and all important piers, including
those under the termimil works from
which extend the railroads to the
Capital, have been occupied. All the
territory around the American Con
sulate i.s strongly patrolled and de
tachments hold othev sections of the
city. .
The Mexican commander, Gen. Gus
tavo Maas, offered a stubborn resist
ance to the American advance and for
many hour there was fighting in I'm.'
streets. Toward nightfall it was re
ported that the main body of the Fed
eral garrison xv.is. in retreat to the
westward.
Landing of Marines.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, -commanding
the United States warship, pre
faced bis occupation of the port ty a
demand, through the American Con
sul, W. W. Canada, for its surrender.
General Mans prompty declined to
accede to this demand and shortly aft
erwards 10 whaleboats were sent off
from the side of trie transport Prairie
loaded with marines.
These boats effected a landing in
the neighborhood of the 'Customs
house before nonn, .and a few minu
tes later Capt. William R. Rush cf tie
battleship Florida, wfco was in com
mand of the operations ashore,
brought his ii?g i 1.
fi05 M.-n Dteembarlv.
Captain Rush's men already Tiad
taken up their positions. They num
bered 150 bluejackets from thj Flo
rida, 3")0 marines from l.ho Prairie,
and i?.") marines from the 1 lorida.
ter these were augmented by a dc-!
taehment from the Utah.
the coming ot tiie American loives
was not heraded by any great ex
citement, but small crowds gathered
to watch the landing. Soon the blue
jackets and Jiiarinos marched through
the svreets leading from the water
front and along the railroad yards.
Others proceeded to the Americcn
Consulate, w hile still others were de
ployed "along the approaches to cen-
tral plaza, in wLich General Matis
had concentrated his Tnen.
-Mexicans Fire Volley.
These maneuvers were effected
without opposition, but suddeny
General Haas challenged the advance
with the tirst shots a volley fired
from the marines and two blocks
south of the main plaza.
The marines replied immediately
but the action ceased in a moment
There was a lull for 10 minutes and
then another brief exchange from
the west end of Montesinos stre?t.
where a Federal outpost was station
ed. At 12.30 the firing became general
and at 1 o'clock the guns of the trans
port went into action.
Marines Destroy Mexican Tower.
Prior to this a detachment of blue
jackets from the Utah, holding the
ground between the Consulate and
the watei' front, opened with two of
their three-inch guns. The lirst shot
from ' these peices were directed
against the ancient Bonito Juarez
tower, occupied by Mexican sharp
shooters. Lieutenant Commander
Buchanan of the Florida ordered that
it be destroyed. Five shots brought
the old tower down.
The women of the American colony
in Vera Cruz had been placed aboard
the chartered steamers Esperanza and
Mexico but the foreign colony, espe
cially the American section, was
greatly augumented this morning
when three trainloads arrived frO:ti
the capital. Some of these remained
ashore but many were taken aboard
the steamers. So far as can be learn
ed no refugees were injured.
This is the first clash betwe3n
forces of the United States and Mex
ico since revolution broke out in the
Southern Republic in 1910 and gave
the Washington Government a Mexi
can problem.
Though fighting had not ceased at
a late hour Tuesday night. Rear Ad
miral Fletcher had warned the Fed
eral commander that he would use
big guns of the American fleet if his
men did not stop firing. The Ameri
can forces had orders to fire only to
defend themselves. The United
States intends to take no offensive
steps for the present. The salute to
the flag which Huerta refused will
not be satisfactory reparation. It is
understood a declaration of apology
as well as a saluts and a guarantee
